Cap off Your Summer with an Exciting Adventure: the Alviera Brightscape Campfest

With April gone, I’m sure some of you are still not contented with the multiple trips to the beach you’ve had ever since the summer heat kicked in. No amount of sunburn could stop you—after all, we only get to enjoy this season once a year. But after the company outings to pool resorts, the exploration of virgin beaches, and the wild parties in LaBoracay, what else is there to do? If the idea of more swimming doesn’t appeal to you, perhaps this will: how about a trip to the North, to a vast expanse of land dedicated for outdoor adventure? How does camping out while stargazing and listening to live bands under the summer night sky sound?

Alviera Brightscape Campfest is the ultimate escapade that needs to put an exclamation mark to your summer. If you’re seeking a one-of-a-kind experience this summer—something you’ve never tried before—THIS IS IT. An arts festival, a concert, and an outdoor bonding activity rolled into one, this event, happening this May 30 to 31 at the Sandbox in Porac, Pampanga, is the ideal venue for you and your friends to enjoy a weekend of adrenaline, music, creativity, and fun.

Enjoy a whole day of outdoor activities like kite-making and kite-flying, survival skills lessons, campfire making, tent-pitching, star-mapping, and of course—the attractions at Sandbox, like the Avatar One rollercoaster zipline, Giant Swing, and Aerial Walk. Release your creative juices with the flow arts workshop, drumming lessons, silhouette puppet show, and music jam which will serve as your nightcap. Make new friends or bond with your barkada as you eat s’mores around the bonfire. Finally, retreat to your tents for a full camp out experience!

Day Adventurer (day tour only) tickets are available at PhP1,990/head, inclusive of roundtrip transportation with travel insurance, free use of Sandbox amenities, access to all Brightscape activities, passes to the Brightscape Music Jam, and an event kit filled with freebies. If you think eight hours is too short a bonding time for you and your friends, purchase the Weekend Camper tickets priced at PhP2,990 each. This entitles you to an overnight stay at the premises, access to exclusive activities, free use of Coleman tents, and a breakfast buffet.

So, before the rainy season comes and starts to foil your weekend plans … head out one more time, and go to the Alviera Brightscape Campfest at Sandbox Porac. I’m already excited with the lineup of activities waiting for me! I can’t wait to expend all my energies all day then chill by the bonfire at night with friends!

For all the music lovers, here’s a list of all bands performing at the music jam:
